With more than 30 different short videos, everybody can learn how to make Fruit Mousse, Ice cream, jelly paste, but also more sophisticated & trendy recipes using texturas for spherification or to make frozen espumas using liquid nitrogen.
The online School also provides know-how about Purées & IQF Fruits, focussing on the production process and key elements which will make you understand and recognize what quality purées are.
The online teacher is among the best worldwide pastry Chefs; Emmanuel Ryon ( MOF and world champion) is also very close to Frederic Bellouet & Gabriel Paillasson,
Emmanuel Ryon has taught pastry for Bellouet for a long time.

A British accent was resonating in Objat!
On Friday 13th, the H&B Foods sales team, distributor across the UK, came to the raspberry and chestnut region, to meet Ponthier’s staff. The schedule, quite intensive, included a full training on Ponthier’s product line and manufacturing processes. First, Yves Ponthier had them visit the plant. Then, a fruit purees tasting, pleasing every palate, was offered to the visitors.
Lunch at a local inn was the occasion to demonstrate to the visitors that chestnuts are perfect in a salad with duck confit, that the combination of a delicate fish with mango sauce is simply delicious, and that you can allow all manner of extravagance for the creation of dessert. Everything was, of course, prepared with Ponthier’s products.
Last but not least, Christophe Champagnac, Chef at the restaurant Les Arums in Brive-la-Gaillarde, demonstrated his knowledge in creating sorbets, foam and espumas, incredibly fresh and tasty. Under the spell, the visitors felt assured that their journey had been a positive one.
